This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

From what I've learnt, it's grapes (raisins, sultanas etc) that you should be worried about feeding to your dogs.

They are very toxic and tend to do permanent damage even in small amounts, particularly to the kidneys.

Toothpaste, too. Gum. Sugar-free cough drops. Xylitol is crazy bad for them.

I thought the issue with grapes was that they are a choking hazard for dogs

No, unfortunately its the tartaric acid, causes kidney failure. So meringue and Tamarind can cause the same issues.

The issue is that either your dog is susceptible to it or not, and there is no way to know until after as there is no safe limit when they are.

So the fox in the sour grapes parable would have died if he was able to reach them?
